World Cup Rest Day Before Quarter-Finals

Yesterday, Argentina secured a dramatic 3-2 victory over Egypt after a significant comeback, while Switzerland advanced to the quarter-finals by defeating Colombia 4-3 on penalties following a 0-0 draw after extra time. The quarter-finals continue with Spain versus Belgium on Friday and Argentina versus Switzerland on Saturday.

Egypt coach Hossam Hassan expressed strong criticism of referee François Letexier's decisions, stating: 'I won't watch any more World Cup matches. This is my reaction to what happened. We deserved victory and outperformed them in every aspect, but the result was influenced by external factors. There was no fair play or respect.' afnews.co.za
